I have a 96 dodge pickup with a 360 and the oil pressure dosent stay in one spot it will bounce around from 0 to 50 on the gauge. This is will driving same speed or stoping and starting. Some times it will stay at o and not move for 10 seconds. It is full on the dip stick for oil. Could it be the oil pump or something else? The oil pressure shouldent be at 0 will the engine is running.

Chevs had that same problem---faulty sender...
Then I agree with Crash, it's got to be a faulty sender... or a bad connection/short in the wiring.
Sounds like a sender to me as well, I know the R/T 360 was having issues with the pump going out, and that caused the guage to do that as well, but it would only do it for a month or so before the crank ate the bearings.

Love that TOYOTA
My 97 318 did the same thing. The sender was about $12 at vatozone. cleared up all my problems.
